"Repetition”

The Center for the Humanities at Temple invites applications for its 2011-12 External Humanities Fellowship program. Projects on the 2011-12 theme, “Repetition,” are welcome from all humanistic disciplines.

We intend the topic to be construed broadly. Projects might be highly specific, such as meaning and repetition in philosophy, rhetoric, or critical theory. They can also be more thematic, as in the iteration of closely-related images, sounds, or tropes in art, music, or literature. More generic issues include the reemergence of historical issues in contemporary politics or the importance of ritual in anthropology. But all projects should focus on the significance of repetition in some form.

Appointments are renewable for a second year. Fellows participate in the activities of the Center and teach one course per semester with no teaching in the first semester. Applicants must have received their Ph.D. after April 1, 2008 and before April 1, 2011. Salary is $44,500 with a $1000 research budget in each year and a full benefits package. The deadline for this fellowship application was April 1, 2011:

• cover letter
• CV
• 1000-word project proposal
• writing sample
• three confidential letters of reference.

Submit materials electronically (in PDF or Word format) to fellow@temple.edu. Temple University is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from members of underrepresented groups.
